19. At the June meeting of the Board of Directors a resolution from the MobilePensacola. Section was referred to the Council's Standing Committee on Professional Relations and Status for consideration and recommendation. That Committee reported to the Board as follows: With respect to the resolution of the Mobilc-P^nsacola Section referred to the Committee on Professional Relations and Status by the Board at its June 19 meeting, the Committee voted to record itself as being sympathetic with the intent of the resolution which was to assure adequate paxd help to carry out the functions of the Committee; but since it has thus far experienced little difficulty in getting such assistance from the office of the Executive Secretary, it recommends that no actiont be taken on this resolution until such time as a specific program is developed which requires more assistance than the Executive Secretary can provide. The Committee further recommends that any additionaJ help b e responsible to the Executive Secretary and be available, to the extent thusit time permits, for other duties as well as those of the Committee on Professional Relations and Status. It was moved, seconded, and carried that the Foregoing report of the Committee on Professional Relations and Status be accepted with thanks and that the recommendation be approved.

It was moved, seconded, and carried that Regulation IX, 5 be renumbered as IX, 6, that its title be changed from "Subscription Rates" to "Subscription Rates, Annual," that it be modified to eliminate reference to the "calendar year," that the word "individual" be eliminated from the phrase "individual Member," and that the rates for Agricultural and Food Chemistry be added. As amended, it will read as follows:

Should the status of a nonmember change during the term of an extended subscription so that he is entitled to a lower rate than that at which the subscription was entered, a refund will be made calculated on the basis of the proper rate for his new status. 27. It was moved, seconded, and carried that Regulation IX, 6 be renumbered as IX, 8 and that the title be changed from "Discounts, Subscription Rate" to "Discounts, Subscription Rates, Members of Foreign Societies." 28. It was moved, seconded, and carried that Regulation IX, 7 be renumbered as IX, 9 and that the title be changed from "Discounts to Bookdealers" to "Discounts, Subscription Rates, Bookdealers." 29.

On the other hand, in the amino acid field, it is the configuration of the lowest numbered asymmetric carbon atom-Le., the a-carbon atom—that determines the prefix. The two systems are thus irreconcilable unless some device such ns an additional symbol is introduced to show that the capital letter prefix in the name x,-threonine is used in the amino acid sense rather than in the carbohydrate VOLUME

sense, as might be inferred from the name threonine with its obvious reference to the sugar threose. Rule 3 is formulated to deal with this situation and should be applied where any possibility exists of confusion between the meaning of the symbols in the two systems of nomenclature. The subscripts s and g, respectively, for serine and for glyceraldehyde, were suggested as being suitable by C. S. Hudson, who pointed out that serine is the simplest amino acid that can be regarded as being related to the carbohydrates. The prefix L„-, pronounced ell sub-ess, attached to the name of an amino acid, as, for example, L.-threonine, shows unequivocally that the prefix refers to the amino acid system of nomenclature and that it denotes the configuration of the a-carbon atom. Even if carbohydrates are mentioned by name in the context with prefixed capital letters for their configuration, there would be little chance that confusion as to the exact meaning of * the symbols might occur. To eliminate even this small chance, the subscript g would be employed with the prefixes for the carbohydrate names. Custom dictates that the acids derived from the amino sugars shall be named in accordance with carbohydrate nomenclature even though they may be alpha amino acids. Accordingly, in a context that includes the names of amino acids, glucosaminic acid should be named r>«-glucosaminic acid, the prefix being pronounced dee sub-gee, in order to make the meaning of the symbols unequivocal. In this substance, the configuration of the a-carbon atom also chances to be that of the D,-family, but in the acid derived from D*-mannosamine (2-amino-2-deoxyDff-mannose), the a-carbon atom has the configuration of the L.-family. Nevertheless, the name D*-mannosaminic acid ( 2 amino-2-deoxy-Dg-mannonic acid) should be employed. The use of the subscript s added to the capital letter prefix in the nomenclature of the amino acids should rarely be necessary in practice even in the case of threonine. However, it must be remembered that the name L-threonhie is at best a compromise; in this name, the two systems under which the capital letter is used to denote configuration come into unavoidable conflict. Authors of papers in which any question arises concerning the configuration of the carbon atoms of threonine must therefore use extreme care to avoid the possibility of being misunderstood. Rule 4 provides for the case of amino acids or their derivatives, of whatever origin, the configuration of which has not been established. With such substances, the direction of the optical rotation serves to specify the isomer under consideration. Names assigned under this rule will, of course, be superseded as soon as the configuration has been established. Rule 5 continues present practice in the naming of those few substances in which there are two asymmetric carbon atoms,
43 » • O C T O B E R

but which, being symmetrical in structure, are optically inactive by internal compensation. meso-Cystine and meso-lanthionine are the two best known examples, but other cases such as dianiinosuccinic acid and djenkolic acid exist. The abbreviation ms- may be employed if desired but not the abbreviation m- since this is reserved for met a. Rule 6 deals with the amino acids that have two centers of asymmetry in the carbon chain because a substituent group in addition to the alpha amino group is present. Four optically active isomers and two optically inactive mixtures or racemic compounds exist. The rule follows the custom, introduced in the case of the isomers of isoleucine, of designating the diastereoisomer of the substance that is obtained from proteins with the prefix alio, and of using the capital letter prefix to denote the configuration of the alpha carbon atom. No attempt is made under the present rules to designate the configuration of the second asymmetric carbon atom, since, where this is of importance, the matter can be more simply dealt with in the text. Rule 7 extends the use of the capital letter system to derivatives, salts, and peptides of the optically active amino acids. The configurational designation is placed immediately before the name of the parent amino acid so that no confusion can arise when complex derivatives are named. Rule 7 likewise applies to systematic names. Rule 8 extends the system to those few substances which have been given trivial names and in which two amino acid groupings with different constitutions occur. Cystathionine is an example that has recently been fully worked out. In this substance, a cysteine and a homocysteine radical are combined through a single sulfur atom. Octopine is a case in which the isomers still remain to be described. If the convention is adopted that the configurational designation shall be that of the smaller of the two amino acid radicals and, in addition, the prefix alio (this prefix is to be preferred to iso) is employed to denote the diastereoisomeric analog of the compound to which the trivial name was first assigned, an unequivocal set of designations becomes possible. The systematic name must, however, be relied upon if the configurations of both asymmetric carbon atoms are to be specified. Rule 9 provides a means of naming an inactive substance which may be either a racemic mixture of the enantiomorphs of a diastereomeric substance or a mewcompound, this not having been established at the time the name is applied. The Rule also provides for the naming of an inactive substance where the configurational relationships of the active forms have not been established. Rule 10 provides thut the names of the radicals of the amino acids shall follow established International Union precedent. 4525

largest registered in several years. After increasing annually for many years to a peak in 1949, student enrollment has been declining steadily. The loss of 675 this year is the biggest drop since this trend started. The record number of changes of address reported a year ago was matched during the first six months of 1952, in fact it was exceeded by three for a total of 11,303. For the period July 1, 1951 to June 30, 1952, there were 27,927 such changes, 341 more than ever before. In an earlier section of this report, mention was made of the elimination of corporation members at the end of 1951. This year the category of honorary members was eliminated by amendment of the Constitution and Bylaws. Now the Society consists only of individual members who are classed as junior grade or senior grade, except for the two honorary members on the rolls whose status will not be affected.
Membership A membership total of 67,137 was reached on July 1, 1952, a net increase of 1874 (2.87%) over the 1951 figure. This gain is small compared with prior years (see table below).

Areas suggested included Albany, N . Y.; Princeton, N. J., Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Rochester, N . Y. There w a s considerable discussion of methods for improving the divisional programs including an* idea on t h e refereeing of slides, of providing slide data in mimeograph form for distribution, and of attracting appropriate papers from the large Organic Division program. Alfred Burger reported on the very successful Third National Medicinal Chemistry Symposium held in Charlottesville. Dr. Suter advised t h e group that Volume II of Medicinal Chemistry w a s about ready for submission to the printers a n d that a n e w and more economical method of printing would b e adopted to put t h e series on a sound financial basis.

Petroleum C h e m i s t r y The Division of Petroleum Chemistry presented the following symposia during the 122nd Meeting of the AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY held in Atlantic City, Sept. 14 to 18, 1952: Unsolved Problems of the Petroleum Industry, W. A. Gruse, chairman; and Catalysts in Hydrocarbon Chemistry, B. S. Greensfelder, chairman. The symposium consisting of seven invited papers on Unsolved Problems of the Petroleum Industry, •which was held on Tuesday, Sept. 16, highlighted the many things w e do not yet know about petroleum composition and the important problems facing the industry in combustion, power production, petroleum refining, lubricating oils, utilization of natural gas, substitute fuels, petrochemicals, and the production and exploration of crude oils. This symposium, which was presided over by W. A. Gruse assisted by Jerry McAfee and H. M. Smith, drew very great interest. Since it was not preprinted, it is planned that it will be issued as a symposium in one of the ACS journals. The symposium, Catalysis in Hydrocarbon Chemistry, held all day Wednesday and Thursday morning, Sept. 17 and 18, consisted of papers on almost every phase of the science of catalysis. Included were papers on free radicals, adsorption, acid catalysis, mechanism of hydrocarbon reactions, the nature of activated complexes, hydrogenation, oxide catalysts, polymerization, and the kinetics of catalytic reactions. The future of the science of catalysis and the application of catalysis to the field of hydrocarbon chemistry and t h e petroleum industry were ably discussed by H. S. Taylor and E. V. Murphree. I n addition, other papers dealing with t h e status of catalytic reactions as related t o the production of synthetic fuels from natural gas and coal were presented. I n all, 14 papers were presented. Two sessions of the symposium, which was arranged by Bernard S. Greensfelder, were presided over b y him, and C. L. Thomas presided over t h e other session. T h e symposium drew a capacity crowd and in many instances only standing room was available. All day Monday, Sept. 15, and Thursday afternoon, Sept. 18, a very successful
VOLUME
general session was held. Fifteen papers were scheduled on a variety of subjects. Members of the Executive Committee met on Sunday evening, Sept. 14. Reports on the various activities of t h e division were received and discussed. As of Sept. 11, the division membership totalled 2310 compared with a total of 2072 at the same time in 1951. T h e steady increase in membership of t h e division can be attributed to t h e growth of t h e petroleum industry and especially to t h e cooperation of t h e Membership Committee under the chairmanship of A. L. Lyman. T h e annual business meeting was held on Thursday afternoon, Sept. 18, at 4 P . M . in the American Room of the Traymore Hotel. Reports of the division were given and future programs outlined. A. L. Lyman was installed as t h e new chairman of the division. The change in bylaws was approved which will allow twoyear staggered terms for the area representatives. T h e following program has been set for the Los Angeles meeting in March of 1953: general session; Symposium on Industrial Waste Disposal Problems of the Petroleum Industry, this symposium is to b e cosponsored with the Division of Water, Sewage, a n d Sanitation Chemistry, Roy Weston, Atlantic Refining Co., 3144 Passyunk Ave., Philadelphia 1, Pa., is cochairman for the Petroleum Division, and Roy N. Giles, Standard Oil Co. (Indiana), 910 South Michigan Ave., Chicago 80, 111., is cochairman for the Division of Water, Sewage, a n d Sanitation Chemistry; and Symposium on Design and Operation of Pilot Plants, chairman, Cecil L . Brown, Standard Oil Development Co., 15 West 51st St., New York City. The deadline date for receipt of papers for these symposia b y t h e chairman and t h e general session by the secretary has been set as Nov. 29, 1952. The program for the fall 1953 meeting has been tentatively set as follows: 1. general session; 2. symposium, Mechanization of Analytical Methods in the Petroleum Industry; and 3. symposium, Petrochemicals in the Post W a r Years. Arrangements, including obtaining chairmen for t h e two symposia, are currently being made for this meeting. Deadline for receipt of papers for these symposia and the general session will be about June 6, 1953.
Polymer C h e m i s t r y The Division of Polymer Chemistry held three symposia: Polymers Made from Chlorotrifluoroethylene, W. E. Cass, presiding, jointly with the Division on Industrial Chemistry; Second Stage Crosslinking, C. L. Levesque, presiding; and Progress in Polycondensation, E. F. Izard, presiding. The Division cosponsored a symposium on the Literature of Synthetic Resins and Plastics on Sept. 15 with the Division of Chemical Literature. Five general sessions were held from Monday through Thursday. Altogether about 60 papers were presented. The average attendance was 150; t h e peak attendance was 250. The business meeting was held on Tuesday at 4:30 P.M. The membership has increased during 1952 from 306 as of July 1 to 421 as of Sept. 3 , 1952. The Division intends to organize the following symposia at the spring meeting in Los Angeles: The Fine Structure of Polypeptide Type Macromolecules, and Fundamental Aspects of Cellulose Structure. It is further intended to arrange for a program containing a larger number of papers on polytetrocarbons. For the fall meeting in Chicago a symposium on Inorganic Polymers is planned jointly with the Division on Inorganic and Physical Chemistry.

A C S Committees Members of the Society should note that these committees are their committees. Some of these committees deal with very general and all-important problems. Tlu»y desire to serve as clearing houses and are anxious to have suggestions and thoughts from individual members. Send your suggestions to the chairman of the committee. There is no committee so able or representative that it cannot profit by the individual ideas of the membership.
